“Dance is a great exercise and it allows you to travel across the country meeting new friends and learning new things.I would like to share the things that I have learned with younger kids in hopes to inspire them to join dance.”

Tell us about your dance experience!

I have been dancing for eight years now and competing at the elite level division. I have trained at not only my studio but at many of the top conventions including NUVO, Tremaine, DMI, Titians, Kinfigure, and 24seven. I have competed at multiple competitions across the southeast US area including Rainbow, Kar, StarQuest, Brovo, StarPower, Stage One, Fly, VIP, Revolution, In10sity, and Nexstar. I have been awarded Elite 1st place and title champion at Fly Dance, Nextstar, Rainbow, Revolution, DMI, Elitecup, and Kar dance Competitions.

I love dancing, learning, and making new dance friends at every competition. I have made several close friends at dance conventions and look forward to bettering myself in my dance abilities.
